FWIW: I think the T2X with titanium swivel was neutrally buoyant in salt water when turned upside down so it remains full of air. With brass jam nuts and hoses My T1s are lightly negative, so whatever the net buoyancy of the TFX, I'll be happy with it. :)

And many of us waiting for the TFX second stage to be offered separately...

The only time this happened to me was when the whole reg froze over between ice dives. I just thawed it and it worked (you can tell I like Jetstreams). Back to your question, Bigbella and Rsingler will chime in with more info, but to help (them) diagnose, let's start with the intermediate...

Any interest in these? Reminder, it's what Santi drysuits come with, and some DUI drysuits.

Agreed! Can't go wrong with the 3-4 major brands, and avoid the bottom segment (unbalanced) of each brand, as it might be limiting in the future. But also avoid the top segment in each brand, as it can be much pricier than necessary. The middle range within each brand is the bargain buy, hence...

I hope some fellow Scubaboarders can point to instructors in one of your areas. Hard to describe the criteria: Experience is obvious. I am thinking of a serious attitude of hammering safe habits into their students. It's an attitude/culture thing, on top of skills. If you could join an...

Hey, being in marine science as well, I can sympathize. Yes indeed, exploration diving is different from the work done in research or filmmaking in open water at "recreational depths". My best advice is to find a good instructor first and foremost. And plan to do ca. 100 CCR dives before doing...

oops

Ok, now I am convinced people are indeed following this thread :) If the TDX5 buyer is on Scubaboard: Can you post a report and maybe even a teardown? 🙏

No love for the Oceanic TDX5? A titanium diaphragm 1st stage that can be sealed (listing is not mine, I sold all but my Atomic T1Xs that I am keeping)...

Both sides have a point. As I posted in the compressor forum, great products are made overseas, but I'd like to see rigorous quality control (ideally by a local importer under local jurisdiction) that ensures compliance with our local regulations that are in place for our protection. On the...

Didn't know about it, but looks good (and identical to my Apeks) on the photos!

Wow, that's brilliant, thanks! Attached are some pics I took a while ago while trying to figure out what to order from Buddhasummer (I might not have all of these anymore). The big bore Apeks mouthpiece in the pics is the RA117137. The clamp on the top is the latest Scubapro quick release...

I can see why people worry about the antimicrobial properties, but I think there is no substitute for proper care of the gear. Good rinsing, good drying, and you'll be fine regarding regs. Rebreather counterlungs need disinfectant (Steramine), and dive schools may treat their regs with...

Still available...

Any offers?

Hi all, up for sale is a pair of brandnew, never used dry suit boots. These are bascially identical to DUI Flex Soles and SANTI Boots. If you wear thick thinsulate socks, then they should fit shoe size 9 US (what you wear for street sneakers) as indicated on them. If you wear thin fleece...

Yes, as Yellowdog said. I would just use a Ti2 or a B2. The internals of the T3 and T2X etc only add a lever that is covered in a golden colored PVD coating of Zirconium or something, to make ist slicker. And the swivel hoses differ in material. I have Ti2s with T1X covers.
